Celebrity Cruises and Goop recently announced a partnership by bringing some of Goop's practitioners on board for a series of four Caribbean sailings this fall. Goop practitioners and experts will lead exclusive programming, including workouts and mindfulness sessions with a goal of enriching guests’ collective wellbeing while aboard the new luxury brand’s most exquisite ships. The two company’s partnership was announced in January 2020 and has continued to evolve. In April 2021, goop’s founder and CEO Gwyneth Paltrow was announced as Celebrity’s Well-being Advisor. The goop team has curated new wellness offerings for Celebrity’s ships including fitness kits for AquaClass guests, on-demand wellness classes on stateroom TVs, a custom smoothie, and more. “As our guests have returned to travel, they’ve expressed how sailing has been a source of healing for them after a very challenging year,” says Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, president and CEO of Celebrity Cruises. “Nowhere else can guests experience this powerful confluence of the serenity of the sea with physical and emotional wellness.
Curated by Goop, the practitioners include:
